Marine Drive is a sweeping coastal promenade in Mumbai that curves along the Arabian Sea for approximately 3.6 kilometres, connecting Nariman Point in the south to Babulnath in the north. Also known as the Queen's Necklace due to its stunning arc of streetlights visible at night, it is one of Asia's most iconic waterfront stretches and offers breathtaking sunset views. The drive features a wide pedestrian path, manicured lawns, and access to some of Mumbai's finest beaches and restaurants.
Marine Drive is the quintessential Mumbai experience — a place where locals and visitors alike come to witness spectacular Arabian Sea sunsets, enjoy evening walks, and soak in the city's cosmopolitan energy. The blend of natural beauty, urban sophistication, and authentic street life makes it an unmissable coastal landmark.
